Dads Divorce

Question:

Can you explain the difference between the various child support strategies. I am from a state that I believe uses the "shared income" model.

In my situation it seems that even though my ex has "residential" status I would be awarded child support based upon 50/50 and the large disparity in our incomes.

Question:

I realized recently that I received no money from the sell of the house that my ex wife and I lived in while married. My name was not on the loan for the home. The loan was in my ex wife's name and her mother was the co signer.

Should I have still received 50% of the money received from the sell of the house?

In any case there are opportunities that a client will be required to testify on the record.  Depositions, motions, temporary (PDL) hearings and trial to name a few.  Prior to any event that a party would be required to testify it is important to schedule a meeting in person with your attorney.   It is important not to meet too far in advance as the “rules for testifying” may be forgotten, but any closer to the event may not allow the client time to practice and prepare.  

The attorney will not provide a client with a response.  It is unethical in most jurisdictions for an attorney to give their client the response.  However, it is appropriate and expected that the attorney will help mold the response.  This can be important to work with the attorney so responses can fit within the strategy and “theme” of the case being presented.  

There are basic rules for testifying at any event.
